100CCC Attempt - 4 February

[OX-34]

Rob McPherson road Brisbane to Perth 50cc as well. I remember him came flying past me between Broken Hill and Yunta
May/June 2017

That's exactly right Frans. Rob rode that Bris/Perth 50CC leg as part of his Southern Cross Insanity.

And yes Vlad it was that particularly infamous finish in Perth. Rob does those big rides pretty easily. I think the tankful of diesel was just a way to make the ride a bit harder....... he loves a challenge.

Robs 50 cc is definitely certified, that resulted in the diesel debacle if memory serves.

Thanks for that. I was relying on the FarRiders' database which he still has entries on, but hasn't bothered with non-FarRide entries since April 2016.
I know the master db for IBA is on the web, but it would be nice if the Australian IBA rides were readily accessible on an Australian listing. It won't happen- it would be a big job to set up.

Bugga!!! Hope you're both OK

Do you mean the 'roo and Daisy?
A 'roo and me again. Took the LH panier off. Daisy ran over the 'roo (after my impact) after dodging me and the errant pannier, just to make sure.
Reg just giggled.

The young fella Dan is knocking the kilometres out that's for sure.

 

[Biggles]

Dan has committed to the Gore Highway. He used the Cunningham outbound. It's 8 kays shorter, but Toowoomba is horrendous with multiple traffic lights and 60 kay speed for a very long way. Fortunately time is on his side so I'm guessing he's going for variety.
After the break in Goondiwindi and allowing for Toowoomba, he's back to 3:30 into the Port.

Dan has made his way through Toowoomba, now on the Warrego Hwy, going well.

Nearly there Dan could nearly smell the ocean...

[BigLew55]

Looks like he's having a (and making) great time! Way to go Dan.

 

[Philmor]

Dan, congratulations on completing your Australian 100ccc.
You absolutely nailed it.

 

[Crappy]

Crazy , not normal crazy..................Proper Crazy.
Great Ride Dan !

 

[John Gallagher]

Congratulations Dan, that was a big, big ride.

So after seeing him off and riding the first hour or so with him heading west, Clint and I picked him up at Plainlands and rode the last hour back to the the start.
It was my pleasure to be the first to congratulate him on a ride never before done in OZ.

 

[Skidoo]

Congratulations Dan on an epic ride. I was hoping to pace him again at Gilgandra however urgent family business in Canbera pulled me away.
Well done mate.

 

[Martin Little]

Congratulations Dan!
An epic ride well planned & ridden

 

[Dicky Knee]

Congratulations Dan. Extraordinary pace, commitment and tenacity. Epic ride mate. As Gus said "Two thumbs up"

 

[HACKLE]

Congratulations simply doesn't seem enough. Commitment, perseverance, tenacity, desire, are all words to use for this outstanding ride. But the one I like the most is ABILITY. To be able to set a goal and the ability to see it through to the end. Dan, as I said before going to bed, you'll remember this one for ever. Congratulations.
